Dear Cindy (and others here):
I was sad to read about the incident and also pleased you were able to be who you are in the face of such behavior.
I was also pleased that the women apologized to you, and you accepted her apology. That to me is one of the best outcomes that was otherwise possible. When people can recognize they made a mistake and apologize while accepting responsibility, in this case a public and egregious one, that's a step forward for us all and what may have the most positive impact over time.
The moment must have been uncomfortable in one way or another for all, and out of that moment there may have been a real life changing event . . . at least that's how I see it. Thank you for being you.
Thanks for sharing,
Rachel
